Looking to the Thirteen Rivers

The room suddenly fell silent, and a needle could be heard.

Yin Qiu sat silently for a long time before he said in disbelief, "Didn't my father tell you the secret?"

Nan Gongmin said: "He just told me about the mechanism, but he didn't give me the blueprint, and he didn't even tell me the date of Shen Mandong's delivery."

Yin Qiu was shocked: "But since I knew my life experience, everyone said that my father did it..."

"Because he took the blame for others," Nangong Min said, "As long as I break the mechanism and break into the Ruyi Gate, your mother can only suspect him."

"So who is that person?" Yin Qiu asked, "Aside from my grandfather and grandmother, only my parents know about the agency. Who else knows?"

Nangong Min showed a helpless expression: "I told you, I don't know who that person is."

Yin Qiu looked at her suspiciously.

"Believe it or not," Nangong Min said frankly, "I received a secret letter that day, which contained the blueprint for cracking the underground mechanism, and the news that your mother was about to give birth, including Man Jiangxue avoiding your mother to come. I went to Cang County to perform a mission, and all the details were clearly written, but the handwriting on it was not from your father's hand. I thought it was written by someone else, but after I entered the Ruyi Gate, he Ask me how I broke the mechanism, since even he himself doesn’t know, then someone else is helping me in the dark.”

It turns out that the reason why Ruyimen was annihilated by Ziwei Sect was not because Yin Xuan secretly tipped off the news, but because someone else was contributing to the flames.

Yin Xuan approached Shen Mandong for revenge, and married into Shen's house. He came into contact with the secret, but never mentioned the solution to Nangong Min. He fell in love with Shen Mandong, so he was willing to let go of his hatred, and did not want to work for Nangong Min anymore. But the real informant pushed all this on him.

Yin Xuan was wronged.

"It's a pity that your father is dead." Nangong Min dismissed the maids in the palace and ordered people to close the door, "If he doesn't die, he will still have a chance to prove his innocence, and he won't have to be scolded by the world for so many years after he dies. "

Knowing the truth all of a sudden, Yin Qiu's mind was shaken and complicated. She clenched her palms tightly and said dully, "Then why didn't you save him?"

"Why should I save him?" Nangong Min seemed to have heard some joke, "He didn't betray Ruyimen, but he betrayed me. He is so heartless and eats everything from inside to outside. Why should I save him? I am a demon in the world. Teaching the demon girl, she saved one irrelevant person after another, but in the end, except for Wen Zhaoyu, no one was really grateful to me, and even wanted to bite me back. No matter how kind I am, I am not so stupid That's the point."

Yin Qiu moved his lips, but was speechless.

"What's more, he is willing to die by your mother's sword," Nangong Min said again, "I wanted to take him back to the Ziwei Sect, but guess what? He was determined and refused to go back with me. Shen Mandong's sword stabbed him Holding the sword in his heart, he walked into the sea of ​​flames without even turning his head. When the heavy rain extinguished the fire in Liucang Mountain, your father had already become a coke and died with everyone. But until he died, he didn't pull the sword out of his heart|heart."

When Nangong Min said this, his gaze shifted to the Ice Chaser hanging on Yin Qiu's waist, and he said, "It's the sword on your body."

Yin Qiu's eyelashes trembled slightly, tears welled up in her eyes unconsciously, she lowered her hand subconsciously, and touched the thin blade of Chasing Ice.

Even though the gate of the palace was closed, the cold wind from the outside still seeped in. Yin Qiu was shocked by the invisible wind, and said dumbly, "Didn't you say earlier that you didn't find my father's body?"

Nangong Min snorted and said, "If he burnt to such a ghostly state, why should I collect him? Since he wants to be buried in Liucang Mountain, then I will fulfill his wish and fulfill his wish."

Yin Qiu was speechless.

Knowing that it would be difficult for her to accept this suddenly, Nangong Min no longer acted leisurely, she suppressed her smile a little, and said slowly: "That's all I can say, that's all I can say. If you want to get that person out, you have to rely on yourself. After all, I am not a pure and good person. Those who are saved by me can be used by me more or less, but you can't bring me any benefits. That’s all I can do to help you get here.”

Yin Qiu remained silent and didn't say a word.

In fact, Yin Qiu didn't really expect to get anything out of Nangong Min's mouth. She was able to tell the truth about Yin Xuan today, which surprised Yin Qiu, not to mention that she didn't know who sent her the secret letter. Who is it, even if Yin Qiu continues to ask, he can't get any useful clues at all.

"But there is one thing you can check carefully," Nangong Minfu reminded again, "Whoever made the mechanism will know the solution. Meng Wugui is an old member of Ruyimen. How did she become a child in the Nine Immortals Hall?" Hall Master? Does the Ruyi Gate Incident have anything to do with her? All in all, she must know more than I do, so if you ask me, why don’t you ask her.”

Yin Qiu thought for a long time before he spoke up: "Of course I will investigate this matter. About the other murderer who destroyed Ruyi Gate, sooner or later I will find out who he is, but besides him, there is another person I want to know." ask."

Nangong Min said, "You want to know the person who plays the flute?"

Yin Qiu nodded: "That's right, he asked Wen Chaoyu to go to the bamboo forest to save me. On the surface, it wasn't your idea, but you took Wen Chaoyu away quickly afterwards, which means that you wanted to save the flute player. You must know each other. "

"We do know each other," Nangong smiled knowingly, "but to disappoint you, I won't reveal any clues about this person."

Yin Qiu looked at her: "So, he must be your spy planted in Yunhua Palace."

Nangong smiled and remained silent.

"He must not be a member of the Ziwei sect," Yin Qiu said, "He and you should just be in a cooperative relationship. He has no ill intentions towards Yunhua Palace, he just wants to deal with the uncle, but the uncle is not easy to deal with. , so he needs to join hands with you and needs the support of Ziwei Sect, so what benefits did he give you to make you agree to escort him?"

Nangong Min looked at Yin Qiu, the expression on his face seemed to be admiring her thoughtfulness, Nangong Min asked back: "You are so smart, why don't you guess it yourself?"

Yin Qiu immediately thought secretly.

Ever since she entered Yunhua Palace, the names of Nangongmin and Ziweijiao have been widely heard, but after thinking about it, Nangongmin has not actually posed any threat to Yunhua Palace in recent years, except for the refugee incident, and has never What kind of conflict with Yunhua Palace really occurred, apart from the fact that she is not yet capable of defeating Yunhua Palace, can it be considered that she never thought about getting serious with Yunhua Palace?

But she must have something she wants.

What is it?

Yin Qiu sorted out the messy thoughts, raised his eyes suddenly, and said firmly: "He can give you the holy sword."

Hearing this, Nangong Min slowly laughed.

Seeing her smile, Yin Qiu said affirmatively: "He knows where the holy sword is, he absolutely knows! So he uses this as a condition to cooperate with you, you two have what you need, and secretly collude," said here , Yin Qiu paused, "The Holy Sword is in Yunhua Palace!"

Nangong Min didn't comment on her speculation, but just laughed and said: "Don't use the word collusion, we don't call it collusion, we call it friendly accomplice."

Yin Qiu ignored her, stood up abruptly, and continued on his own: "But he has been lying in ambush in the palace for a long time, which shows that it is not so easy for him to get the holy sword, but it is also possible that he left it alone on purpose, because he still has it. Didn't really hurt the uncle, he was dragging you on purpose. The holy sword...whose hand is the holy sword?"

"Let me interrupt you." Nangong Min smiled dangerously, "If you keep guessing, Auntie won't be able to help but hit you."

When Yin Qiu heard this, he couldn't help looking back and sneering: "How dare you touch me? The Piper wants to use me to deal with my uncle. If you don't want to quarrel with him, you won't touch me easily. As long as you touch me, if he bites back Take a bite, and don't even think about it."

Nangong Min stood up from the wooden chair, approached Yin Qiu and said, "Do you think I will be afraid?"

Yin Qiu looked straight at her without fear, and said, "You can't be unafraid. I know that the holy sword is an unprecedented sword, and your martial arts skills are considered strong, but you are still inferior to the uncle. If you don't get rid of the uncle, Yun Huagong will always be on the side of the Ziwei sect, and without the holy sword in hand, you can't beat anyone, otherwise, when Meng Wugui and Gongzi Fan appeared in the main altar at the same time, you would never be able to let them go so easily, so you You need the holy sword very much. Even if the piper deliberately drags you down before his selfish intentions are fulfilled, you will have nothing to do with him, and you even have to clean up the mess for him. If you make his plan go wrong, he can use the holy sword himself. Get it, and then turn to deal with you, do you dare to say that you are really not afraid?"

As Yin Qiu's words fell, more cold winds gushed into the hall, and Nangong Min's red dress fluttered in the frenzied wind at that moment. She smiled and raised her hand to pinch Yin Qiu's neck, her tone slightly lowered Said: "I still underestimate you too much, but you are right. I really dare not touch you, and there is no need to touch you. Even if you guess who that person is, given your current situation, you can't deal with him at all." .”

Yin Qiu stood upright and said calmly, "Then why don't we join forces? Compared with a hidden danger that cannot be controlled, I am the best person who can help you get back the holy sword."

Nangong Min's eyes flickered slightly, she stared at Yin Qiu, and said with an undiminished smile: "I'm not that easy to deceive, if I tell you where the holy sword is, you can give it to Man Jiangxue directly after you get it, At that time, I will definitely die without a place to bury me, if you want to use this little trick to defeat me, you are still too young."

"It's because you are too suspicious," Yin Qiu said, "I have no other intentions for you. I just want to find out the Piper and the other murderer who destroyed Ruyimen. I have no interest in the holy sword, but they The two are different, I thought you were hiding behind the disputes, but I didn't expect you to be the one who is being checked and balanced, but now that I can help you, you really don't think about it?"

"But both of them can deal with Man Jiangxue," Nangong Min said, "Can you?"

"I can't," Yin Qiu said, "but they can also deal with you, can't they?"

Nangong remained silent.

Seeing that she was wavering, Yin Qiu naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and chased after the victory: "Not long ago, a spy was arrested in the palace, but all of us know that Senior Sister Ye was wronged, we just need to investigate one by one. The Piper will show his feet sooner or later. When he has no way to retreat, he will definitely threaten you with the holy sword to rescue him. At that time, you will face Yunhua Palace. Once you show up, the uncle will definitely kill you You, why bother? It's not good for you to protect him. "

Hearing this, Nangong Min finally sighed, withdrew his hand pinching Yin Qiu's neck, and said with a smile: "You found out? Yes, my aunt's situation is actually not much better than yours, everyone said Being a human being should not have weaknesses, nor should there be weaknesses. My aunt is impeccable in other aspects, but the holy sword passed down for generations is my aunt's lifeline if I don't want it, but you can't be trusted, and I can't trust you. Then what will we rely on to maintain the cooperation between you and me?"

Yin Qiu thought for a while, and suggested: "I can retreat, I don't ask you to tell me who the flute player is now, you just need to tell me where the holy sword is, and I will verify the authenticity for you when I return to the palace, after all You don't know if he really knows where the holy sword is."

Nan Gongmin said: "Ah, this is a good way. He said that he is in Yunhua Palace, but it doesn't necessarily mean that he is really in Yunhua Palace."

Yin Qiu controlled the advance and retreat, and stopped persuading her, she wanted Nan Gongmin to make her own decision.

Sure enough, after a while, Nangong Min said again: "Then let's put it this way, you can check for me whether the holy sword is really in Yunhua Palace, you have never seen that sword before, draw it for me after you see it Look, I can tell the truth at a glance, and then I will answer you, how about it?"

Yin Qiu said, "Where is the holy sword?"

Nangong Min looked down at her, and curled her red lips: "Didn't I mention you a long time ago?" She said, leaning down and approaching Yin Qiu, and said softly, "It's at the observatory."

·

At night, there was a thick layer of snow on the window coffin, Wen Zhaoyu took a small brush and pushed the snow away, and heard Xue Tan rushing into the house behind him, shouting loudly: "Dharma protector! I just learned an incredible thing!"

Hearing his exaggerated tone, Wen Zhaoyu snorted and said, "It's such a big fuss, what can make you feel incredible?"

Xue Tan said: "It's Yin Qiu! She came to the Ziwei Sect on her own initiative, and she was personally accepted by the leader!"

Wen Chaoyu paused in sweeping the snow, looked at Ye Xue outside the window and said, "Yin Qiu? What is she doing here at Ziwei School?"

"I don't know," Xue Tan warmed the boiled medicinal soup with hot water, "He came here in Youshi. It is said that he never came out after entering the Wangchuan Palace. He talked with the leader for a long time. The subordinates guess... Could it be that she came to see you?"

Wen Chaoyu grabbed the unfinished snow in his hands, rubbed a round snowball, and said, "Even if she is looking for me, the leader will not let her see me."

Xue Tan was startled: "Yin Qiu is here, so it's impossible for Man Jiangxue not to come? Last time we came back with the leader, some believers reported that Man Jiangxue sent disciple Yunhua to search for your whereabouts in the city , Fortunately, the leader arrived in time and brought us back safely, otherwise we would fall into the hands of Man Jiangxue, and you will be in trouble as a protector."

Wen Zhaoyu was not happy to hear it: "What do you mean I will be miserable? I am not afraid of Man Jiangxue."

When she said this, Xue Tan suddenly called out like a rooster crowing behind her, and then stammered: "...This, this is very inappropriate, who can not be afraid of Man Jiangxue...?"

Hearing him questioning himself, Wen Chaoyu threw the snowball up and caught it again, scolding without looking back: "What's your name? I said I'm not afraid if I'm not afraid, and I'll say the same even if she stands in front of me, are you Isn't it itchy and wants to be beaten?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she was about to turn around and teach Xue Tan a lesson, but when her eyes wandered, she suddenly saw a shadow on the ground.

The shadow stood by Xue Tan's side, holding a long sword in his hand, and it was lying across Xue Tan's neck.

Wen Chaoyu squinted her eyes, and threw the snowball in her hand out of the window. She turned around and saw a young girl with an unfamiliar face standing beside Xue Tan. Wen Zhaoyu frowned, and wanted to ask a question, but She also realized that there seemed to be a figure in her eyes. She maintained her composure and tilted her head calmly. She saw a familiar figure in white sitting in front of the long table at the side and rear.

The lamps in the room were well lit, and the light was bright. Under the light of the candlelight, the man's face was white and clean, as beautiful as jade. Just sitting there formed a wonderful picture scroll, which was extremely pleasing to the eye.

But Wen Zhaoyu didn't find it pleasing to the eye, she only found it creepy.

"When did you come in?!"

Man Jiangxue was sitting casually, her snow-like white clothes piled up into a soft cloud, she was holding a dagger loosely, her fingertips glowed with luster, looked at Wen Chaoyu and said, "Just now."

Wen Zhaoyu couldn't help being a little embarrassed, but she didn't forget to poke her head out to take a look at the situation. After seeing that there was no one in the yard, she closed the curtain outside, and said angrily, "You are really addicted to the Ziwei sect at night. What are you doing here?"

Man Jiangxue raised her hand, tapped her with the tip of Ningshuang's sword, and said, "I'm looking for you."

Wen Zhaoyu reacted quickly: "I don't know anything!"

Seeing her like this, Xue Tan felt so ashamed, and lowered his head as if he couldn't bear to look directly at her.

"I'm here to drink tea with you," Man Jiangxue looked calmly, raised his hand and made a "please" gesture, "sit."

Wen Zhaoyu didn't want to sit down, with a helpless expression on his face: "I really don't know anything, you should go quickly, if someone finds you here, Nangong Min will definitely make a fuss about Yin Qiu's safety, you Please let me go, I want to live a few more days of cleanliness."

Man Jiangxue looked at her, and said in a calm tone: "You are not afraid of me, so come and have a cup of tea with me, standing like you master and servant, it seems like I am here to interrogate you."

Wen Chaoyu thought to himself, isn't this nonsense?Is it called an interrogation even if the sword is drawn?She dawdled and sat down on the other side of the long table, but calmly poured two cups of tea, and said impatiently: "Say something quickly, don't hurt me, I've been hurt enough by you."

Man Jiangxue didn't make any detours, and said straight to the point: "Who is the flute player?"

When Wen Zhaoyu heard this, he couldn't help but sneered: "Do you think I'll tell you? As long as I say one word, my body will be hung on the city wall tomorrow morning."

"I'll collect your body." Man Jiangxue was as steady as Mount Tai, "Who is it?"

Wen Chaoyu choked, speechless: "You are so capable, can't you go and check it yourself? Besides, you have something to ask of me now, so put your attitude at ease," she glanced at Xue Tan and Bai who were beside her. Ling, "Let me release the man first."

"You are under my control now, and you should also correct your attitude." Man Jiangxue was indifferent, and asked again, "Who is it?"

Wen Chaoyu gritted his teeth: "I don't know!"

Man Jiangxue gave a "hmm" and looked sideways at Bai Ling: "Throw him out for me."

Xue Tan's expression changed, and he rushed to Wen Chaoyu for help: "The protector—!"

"Go and die," Wen Zhaoyu said ruthlessly, "I'll collect your body."

Xue Tan panicked and said, "Guardian—!"

Bai Ling moved nimbly, grabbing Xue Tan by the collar and was about to drag him to the window. Man Jiangxue said, "It happened to bring Nangong Min over, and we will settle the old and new accounts together, and see if she killed Xiaoqiu first, or I will kill you first."

Wen Chaoyu said angrily: "Man Jiangxue! You despicable villain!" She hurriedly turned her head and shouted at Bai Ling, "Stop, stop, stop! Come back!"

Bai Ling didn't respond, kicked Xue Tan out of the window and lay on his stomach, then took out a hemp rope from his sleeve and tied him up, at the same time making gestures to push him down.

Seeing this, Wen Chaoyu had no choice but to get up in person, ran over and pulled Xue Tan behind him, and cursed: "Man Jiangxue! Do you have any humanity! What does it matter to him?! Come at me directly if you have anything! Don't do this set!"

Man Jiangxue twirled the dagger, looked at Wen Chaoyu, and said, "Who is it?"

Wen Chaoyu was almost pissed off by her: "I told you I don't know!"

Man Jiangxue said: "As long as you are willing to tell the person's name, I can take you away from Ziwei Sect and arrange a good place for you that Nangong Min can't find." After she finished speaking, she deliberately added, " I will also ask Wan Shu to take care of you and stay with you."

Wen Zhaoyu was in a fit of anger, and couldn't help laughing again when he heard this: "Don't use Wanshu to bribe me, I was born a member of the Ziwei sect, and I will die as a ghost of the Ziwei sect, it's useless for you to coerce and lure me, just go away!"

Man Jiangxue looked at her for a while, then actually got up, she signaled Bai Ling to follow her, when the two of them reached the door, Man Jiangxue turned back and said: "I'll give you one last chance, do you want to talk?" ?”

Wen Chaoyu said coldly: "Don't say it!"

"Very good," Man Jiangxue squinted at her, "Then you should be mentally prepared to come to you later."

Wen Chaoyu was stunned for a moment, then asked suspiciously, "What did she ask me for?"

"What do you think?" Man Jiangxue's expression was as usual, but her tone was a little more cold, "If she knew who you were, wouldn't she come to you?"

Wen Chaoyu's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but get serious: "What do you mean?"

Man Jiangxue looked at her coldly: "I don't care about anyone except Xiaoqiu. As long as I can protect her, I don't mind being a villain. Since you are stubborn and stubborn, I can only let you taste it." Bitter, it's time for Wanshu to know that you are Ji's parent and daughter."

After she said that, she pushed the door open and left, leaving only Wen Chaoyu's indifferent back. Wen Chaoyu was terrified and shocked, she didn't have time to think, so she flew towards the door and stopped Man Jiangxue in the corridor.

"Wait a minute—! How do you know?"

There were only sporadic spots of light in the courtyard, and the hall was not bright. Man Jiangxue stood at the door, her face was divided into flickering patterns by the light. She did not answer, but Wen Chaoyu guessed it himself: "Man Dong told you? What a pair of good sisters who talk about everything!"

At this moment, Man Jiangxue was no longer as normal as before, her entire body was filled with a forceful aura, her eyes were like ice and she said: "If Wan Shu is dealt with like this, I don't believe you can sit still."

"You and I are in a different situation!" Wen Zhaoyu said, "Actually, I don't want to see Yin Qiu suffer, but I can't help it! If I really say it and don't mention my own life, even Wan Shu will be affected by me! "

"I said, I have paved the way for you in the future," Man Jiangxue said, "Could it be that you will follow Nangong Min for the rest of your life?"

Wen Chaoyu struggled.

"Whether you think I'm mean or shameless, I don't mind at all," Man Jiangxue said, "I have never claimed to be a good person. When necessary, I will use any means. If you insist on not telling me, I can only Threatening you with wanshu, you can figure it out yourself."

Wen Chaoyu clenched his fists tightly, and struggled in pain for a long time before gnashing his teeth and said, "If I tell you who it is, can you promise to keep it a secret for me?"

Man Jiangxue put two fingers together and said, "I swear to God."

"Okay," Wen Chaoyu frowned, finally accepted his fate, and said, "...that person's name is Xiaoqi, and he entered Yunhua Palace as an undercover agent many years ago. Ziwei taught because she helped me, this time, she also asked me to save Yin Qiu."

Man Jiangxue's eyes were sharp: "What's your name?"

Wen Chaoyu glanced at her, and said in a deep voice, "Lu Huaiwei."

The author has something to say: Yeah hey.
